Busch had the fastest car Saturday to win for the eighth time in 15 races. Busch led 92 of 100 laps but had a late scare after he fell back to third on the final restart.

Brian Scott, who has never won a Nationwide race in four seasons, briefly took the lead and hoped to be the upset winner. But Busch roared back to win for the first time at Indianapolis. He has a record 59 Nationwide wins in 259 starts.

He took his usual bow before he grabbed the checkered flag, then got ready to kiss the bricks.

Scott had a career-best second-place finish. Joey Logano was third.

Busch won from the pole and gave Toyota its first NASCAR win at Indianapolis and second ever at the track.

Busch fell back after some hard racing with Logano that almost wiped out his near-flawless racing. But his No. 54 Toyota was the fastest car and he roared back to take the lead with three laps left.

He won for the eighth time in 15 races this season.
